Add a few mandrel bends and tips and its surly less then whats out now. this idea is based off the the tests showing a muffler delete making more power then catbacks. correct me if this wrong but just sharing thoughts

Doesn't need it if you keep stock cats and resonators. Not loud at all.

Terrible argument. This is not an expensive car. Most of us are not rolling in dough...if you have the equipment and skills, why would you not build your own system? Enjoy giving away your money???

Exactly. I'm all for supporting the vendors. But only when they provide something I can't do or make myself. I love my Perrin exhaust, but if I could, I would have made my own.

Neons have always been good performers. The SRT-4's were fun as hell...

For some reason, I have a feeling you were a complete joy to work with...\sarcasm
